• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Number of Ports: 1

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (primary requirement for direct substitution)
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Brass
• Body Finish: Gold
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or compatible alternatives
• Housing Color: Gold

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C minimum to 155°C maximum
• Voltage Rating: 170 V
• Mating Cycles: 500

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 - Parametric Equivalents (Through Hole, Direct Substitution): Parts that match all critical electrical parameters and through-hole mounting configuration, enabling direct PCB replacement without design modification.

Category 2 - Similar Alternatives (Alternative Mounting): Parts that match electrical specifications but employ different mounting technologies (surface mount), requiring design consideration and PCB layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Through Hole, Parametric Equivalents)

The following parts are recommended as direct substitutes for the TE Connectivity 1408150-1 in through-hole PCB applications without design modification:

Primary Recommendations:

1. Molex 0734151470 - Active status with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 165°C), ROHS3 compliance, and documented insertion loss specification (0.20 dB). Suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

2. Cinch Connectivity Solutions 135-3701-201 - Active status with extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Provides broader environmental operating envelope.

3. Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 135-3701-211 - Active status with operating temperature range matching the original part (-55°C ~ 155°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Maintains thermal specification parity.

4. Huber+Suhner 82_MMCX-50-0-1/111_NH - Active status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Dielectric material includes PFA and PTFE options.

5. Huber+Suhner 82_MMCX-50-0-18/111_OM - Active status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Highest inventory availability (2341 pcs).

6. Radiall USA R110426000 - Active status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected designation. Maintains original operating temperature specification (-55°C ~ 155°C).

Alternative Consideration (Surface Mount)

Amphenol RF 908-22116 - Active status surface mount alternative with extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Requires PCB redesign for surface mount footprint implementation.

Limited Compatibility (Connector Type Variation)

Hirose Electric MMCX-R-PC(40) - Classified as receptacle rather than jack connector type. Operating temperature range limited to -55°C ~ 85°C. Not recommended for direct substitution due to connector type mismatch and reduced thermal envelope.

Not Recommended

Molex 0734151476 - Operating temperature range not specified. Mating cycles specification not provided. Insufficient technical documentation for critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use the Amphenol RF 908-22116 as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1408150-1?

A: No. The Amphenol RF 908-22116 employs surface mount (SMD) technology, while the original part uses through-hole mounting. Direct PCB substitution is not possible without redesigning the PCB footprint and routing. This part is suitable only for new designs incorporating surface mount assembly processes.

Q2: What is the difference between "Jack" and "Receptacle" connector types in MMCX connectors?

A: Jack and Receptacle are distinct connector types within the MMCX family. The TE Connectivity 1408150-1 is a Jack (female socket). The Hirose MMCX-R-PC(40) is a Receptacle (female socket). While both are female sockets, they have different mechanical interfaces and mating characteristics. The Hirose part is not interchangeable with the original part.

Q3: Why do some substitute parts have extended operating temperature ranges?

A: Operating temperature range is a specified parameter provided by each manufacturer. Parts such as the Molex 0734151470 (-55°C ~ 165°C) and Cinch 135-3701-201 (-65°C ~ 165°C) offer broader thermal envelopes than the original part (-55°C ~ 155°C). These extended ranges do not affect compatibility; they indicate the part can operate safely across a wider temperature spectrum. Selection should be based on application requirements.

Q4: What does ROHS3 compliance mean compared to RoHS compliance?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1408150-1 carries RoHS Compliant designation. Most substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant designation, which represents a more recent iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive with updated substance restrictions. ROHS3 compliance is backward compatible with RoHS requirements and is the current industry standard for new components.

Q5: What is the significance of REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union chemical safety regulation. Parts marked REACH Affected contain substances subject to REACH requirements and may require additional documentation for EU supply chain compliance. Parts marked REACH Unaffected do not contain regulated substances. Selection depends on supply chain geography and regulatory requirements.

Q6: Are all substitute parts rated for 500 mating cycles?

A: Most substitute parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, matching the original specification. The Molex 0734151476 does not specify mating cycles. The Hirose MMCX-R-PC(40) specifies 500 cycles but has a reduced operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), which may limit its suitability for demanding applications.

Q7: What does the insertion loss specification of 0.20 dB on the Molex 0734151470 indicate?

A: Insertion loss is the signal attenuation introduced by the connector at RF frequencies. The Molex 0734151470 specifies 0.20 dB insertion loss, indicating documented RF performance characteristics. Most other substitute parts do not provide insertion loss specifications. For RF-critical applications, the Molex part provides measurable performance data.

Q8: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications (50 Ohms impedance, 6 GHz frequency rating, snap-on fastening, 500 mating cycles, solder termination). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in through-hole applications. However, for consistency and traceability, using a single part number across an assembly is recommended.

Q9: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: The Huber+Suhner 82_MMCX-50-0-18/111_OM has the highest documented inventory (2341 pcs). The Cinch 135-3701-211 has 2700 pcs available. For immediate procurement, these parts offer the shortest lead times.

Q10: Are there any compliance differences between substitute parts that would affect regulatory approval?

A: All recommended substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the original RoHS Compliant designation. REACH status varies: some parts are REACH Affected (requiring additional documentation for EU supply), while Huber+Suhner parts are REACH Unaffected. For applications requiring EU market compliance, REACH Unaffected parts (Huber+Suhner 82_MMCX series) may simplify supply chain documentation.
